6 Vastu mistakes that are silently blocking wealth in your home (don’t ignore number 4)

It’s extremely important to make your living space peaceful and prosperous for a positive flow of energy. These things also play a significant role in the financial wellbeing in your home as well. But paying attention to Vastu Shastra can make a great difference in solving this issue. By focusing on optimizing energy flow in living spaces. Unknowingly, you might be making wealth-blocking mistakes which go unnoticed.

Here are six common Vastu mistakes that might be silently blocking wealth in your home and how you can fix them immediately.

2/7

Improper directions

Some rooms when in the wrong direction (as per Vastu) can disturb the harmony of a home. For example:

Kitchen in the North-East or North-West is not suggested as it can create disharmony between the fire and water elements and create problems.

Sleeping with head towards North: It’s not recommended. As per Vastu, sleeping in the wrong direction can disrupt sleep.

How to fix it:

Sleep with your head towards South or East
Your kitchen should be in the South-East or South direction

3/7

Cracked decor (broken mirrors/broken clock/dead plant)

Everything you bring into your personal space carries some energy. There are objects or the placement which can unintentionally repel wealth flow. Old and broken things such as cracked mirrors, broken wall clocks, or dead plants can bring negative energy.

What’s wrong:

Cracked mirrors
Broken clocks
Dead plants

How to fix it:

Replace such things immediately
Keep green tones in your house

4/7

Cluttered house

Clutter looks untidy and as per Vastu, any clutter blocks the free flow of positivity and prosperity. A cluttered home makes it harder for money to come in.

What’s wrong:

Unused furniture
Messy storage

How to fix it:

Declutter regularly
Organize cupboards and storage areas
Keep your house well-ventilated

5/7

Water leaks and plumbing issues

Water symbolises wealth and movement in Vastu. It is said that leaks in bathrooms, or kitchens are not good. Even small drips can symbolically drain abundance if left unattended.

What’s wrong:

Dripping faucets
Leaky pipes
Damp patches

How to fix it:

Get all the leaks fixed without delay

6/7

Cluttered or heavy North-East corner

The North-East corner is known as the “Ishan kon” in Vastu. The corner is linked with divine energy and new opportunities. Placing heavy furniture or storage units can block the positive energy.

What’s wrong:

Heavy cabinets or boxes in the North-East
Bathrooms or sinks in this direction

How to fix it:

Keep the North-East corner clean and clutter free
Keep good lighting

7/7

Neglecting your main entrance

Your home’s main entrance is the gateway for positive energy and prosperity. Never ignore it! Cluttered or poorly lit main entrance can block the flow of wealth.

What’s wrong:

Shoes, random boxes, or anything cluttering the space
Broken or squeaky doors
Low lighting

How to fix it:

Keep the entrance clean
Use bright lighting and
Keep you door and decor attractive
